    Post Attn: Customer Service and Managers

    Have you ever asked yourself this question. What do my customers expect from me?

    Here is a short list I've compiled and I'm sure there will be many other points contributed that I've left out.


    Make your terms and conditions very clear and very visible and not contradictory. Check or have someone check your website for outdated promo's, terms, conflicting information and dead links. There just isn't any excuse for errors in this very important area.

    If I contact support please try to keep the wait time as short as possible. 5 minutes is acceptable, over 10 is not. If you need more staff......hire some.
    If there is some big issue happening where many players are on the line or waiting on chat that keeps the wait longer than normal, please do come on the line and give us a short explanation. We are pretty understanding if you just explain. Oh and if it's taking a while to find or get what the customer is requesting, do come back on and say I'll be with you in a moment. Don't leave me hanging out there for more than 5 minutes wondering if I've been disconnected or ignored.

    If I ask you a question and you don't know the answer.....don't pull something out of your arse. It's perfectly acceptable to say I'm sorry but I will find out and get back to you by tomorrow.

    If you tell me that you will get back to me......for petes sake just do it, within 24 hours. If you still don't know the answer, that's OK, just say so and you can contact me again.....within 24 hours.

    If I email you with a problem or a question, please take the time to actually read the email and don't respond with some pointless canned reply, that one really pisses me off. Again.....the 24 hour rule applies and if you don't know the answer, it's acceptable to say I will get back to you. What........you didn't even bother to reply at all?? Unforgivable!

    Managers.......give your customer service people the information and the tools they need to do their job. Also give them some leeway about bonuses/freebies. Nothing frustrates a player more than (example) - "I just deposited $50.00 and it lasted 10 minutes, I didn't even get one bonus round. I was wondering since I'm a good customer who deposits XXX every month if you could throw me a little bone. I have 960 bonus points, if you would up it to 1000 so I can get my 10 spot, it would be much appreciated." WHAT......you can't do that? " Player immediately uninstalls your casino, you just said goodbye to your good customer who seldom bothers you. And.......yes you have records of who asks for the freebie every other day and no you don't have to give it to them. Head it off before it gets to the point of being aggravating, send them a email stating that they no longer will be receiving them because they are abusing your good will.

    Use a spell check, always.

    Don't be rude or condescending and no we don't expect you take abuse from your customers. If a customer is being abusive, tell them that you will talk to them at another time when they have calmed down and can communicate in an adult manner.

    Never ever lie to your customers. The truth is always the best policy, no exceptions. Treat your players with the same respect and courtesy that you would expect when dealing with any business, be it a casino or otherwise.

    Don't make your customers try to jump the moon to get their withdrawals by repeatably asking for their documents and do acknowledge receipt of them in a timely manner. If there is a issue with the documents, contact us within 24 hours, don't delay.

    Pay out in the time period stated on your website. If you can't meet it, email the customer explaining the delay, don't wait for me to contact you. Not taking the initiative to contact me puts your business in a bad light and frankly just pisses me off. We've been ripped off and stalled too many times. Head off the frustration by being pro-active here.

    I thought of a couple more points, I wanted to add.
    Act like you appreciate your loyal customers by showing us your appreciation with bonuses and comps. Without us, your loyal player base.....you are out of business, remember that!

    Excellent post!
    I totally agree with everything you said, and particularly with your last point:-

    Casinos take our deposits in seconds, as far as I can see there is no possible reason to take more than a day to process & send out our withdrawals. I just don't get the '3rd party processor' fiasco, if someone can explain to me why casinos HAVE to use these I would love to hear it.
    Casinos who stall get what they deserve - players walking away. Surely it does not take a genius to work out that the quicker you pay your players, the quicker they will be back to re-deposit...

    excellent, excellent post! you essentially summarized in a concise manner what all of us have been thinking for a long time. an old teacher of mine gave me some great advice a long time ago:

    in whatever you do, if you want to be successful... be proactive, not reactive. it's a recipe for success that can't go wrong.

    It's a simple concept that can reward a casino with much success...

    BE PROACTIVE...NOT REACTIVE....

    oh... and everything else bb28 said.

    yep great post bb28 ,


    If I email you with a problem or a question, please take the time to actually read the email and don't respond with some pointless canned reply
    so many times this has happened to me and yes it really pisses me off, sometimes ive had to ask the question 3-4 times before i can get an answer, sometimes it feels like your trying to communicate with a robot,
    I gave up gambling,
    Now all i ever do is make mind bets,
    You never bet any real money you only bet in your mind.
    The results are fairly good, ive only lost my mind 5 times so far this month

    I would say live online support is a must.

    It will resolve many problems immediately, which may seem trivia to them but important to you the customer.

    Ingoring an issue may seem the easy option but its unacceptable when its you, the customers money is at stake.

    I think the simple answer is to stop playing at these sites. They will soon change their attitude and start working with you.

    Tilla & Paddypower, I feel have both been excellent. Others , I feel dont really have a proper system in place.

    You pay the customer services wages, you fund the sites. Some think you as a burden, others appreciate your business and loyalty

    A most excellent and great post BB...

    You would think that this would be a remedial course required under "Casino Management 101" for all employees of any online casino, but as most of us all know way too well there are still an awful lot on online casinos that still struggle day in and day out with most of these great points and issues that BB described above...
